my favorite song.


Savior please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can
but I don't know how long I'll last

I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone
God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior please keep saving me

Savior please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am
because You're all I have

Hallelujah
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me

more than skin deep.

I get hurt easily and I'm optimistic. It's not always the best combination. I often find myself waiting for people to come around even when they're long gone. I find myself even more hurt when they don't come around. I'm a lot more sensitive than I think I am. I try to act like things don't matter to me but they always seem to linger in the back of my mind. When friendships, relationships don't work out, I always wonder what I did wrong.. even if I know there's nothing I did wrong. I always feel like it's my fault. I have this habit of putting up a strong front, I want to be invincible, I don't want anyone to mess with me. Sometimes, I wish I could be more real with myself.

relationships.

The people I encounter, the relationships I build, the friendships that break apart.. they're not fully in my control. No matter how hard I, or the person on the other end tries, to mold or even mend this relationship, it doesn't always go the way we plan it. Of course no relationship is perfect, there's misunderstandings and sometimes we screw up- it's nothing that clear communication can't fix, but sometimes friendships, relationships just come to an end. It just doesn't work out. Who's fault is it? It's not mine, it's not yours. That's life. It happens.

reaching deeper.

When the laughter fails to comfort
When my heart aches, Lord You'll be there.

grace.

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.


Thank you Jesus.

best sandwich ever.

A few days ago my friend texted me saying we needed to check out Langer's for their #19 Pastrami Sandwich. The restaurant was featured in the Food Network program "Best thing I ever ate." She also checked out a couple reviews on yelp and decided it was worth a try so she brought me, as well as two other friends, along for the ride.

I was surprised to see that Langer's, located on Alvarado and 7th, was in fact that one White people restaurant that I've passed by tons of times on the way to Ktown from La Crescenta.



Thick cuts of pastrami, cool crunchy light cole slaw, home made russian dressing and swiss cheese between two pieces of soft rye bread... a m a z i n g. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with my usual subway ever again. I can't even find the words to describe this experience but I strongly encourage everyone to at least try it once. You will not be disappointed.

It's a bit expensive, $15 per sandwich, but I think it's worth it. Parking kinda sucks and it's in a super sketchy neighborhood but it's all a part of the Langer's experience.

It was an accident.

Today I killed my mom's cactus.



(He/She?) It was against the window in front of the sink when it happened. I was washing the overflowing stack of dirty dishes. I didn't mean to. I hope my mother doesn't mind too much.
